Mark my words if we pass PBS without rock solid min day rules, and rigs then we'll have given up the best quality of life item in the regional industry for the same old scheduling bs.
Literally the only thing that will ever make PSA build efficient trips is if it costs them soft pay not to.
This is the only way the Union should even bother to bring it to the pilots. If we have strong min-day and rigs then I wouldn’t even care what kind of BS trips they build because they would pay a decent amount. The 12 hour 4-days that have been common from even before COVID were what would get dropped into open time. Combine that with the hacked-up trips from conflicts and you’ve got an open-time pot with nothing but crap. We have to carry so many reserves because of the crap that nobody wants needs to be covered.
